One of my favorite rides to date. I have only ridden it since they replaced the OTSR's with lap bars. I was told the ride hurt when they had the harnesses. A great ride!

I'll take PKI's over this one anyday. Man, they had the mid-course brake on full-blast and it brought the train to 2 mph in the middle of the ride. It was an absolute buzzkill, it reallu hurt the experience.

This coaster is so much better now that the OTSR's are gone.

The flight of fear was my first big rollercoaster, and is still my favorite. The take-off is good enough, but an entire ride in the dark? What could be better!? And now that they have taken off the horse-collar restraints, to me, this ride is the best one in the park.

I really like FOF. It has a great atmosphere and is nicely themed. The MCBR was on for two of my rides but off for the others on the same day. It is very rerideable.

I personally love this coaster because it's in the dark and inside and pretty fast. It's an awesome coaster experience that I REALLY recommend.

So like this coaster isnt that bad at all, yet why is it closed in 2006? One of the better coasters in the park but they close it. That just does not pass the common sense test to me.

This ride was REALLY good. Only about a half hour wait, and I got front seat. The MCBR was on, but the ride was still forceful. It was also really smooth. I wish I got more rides on it...

The three things that I think hold it back are the MCBR, lack of any pops of air, and the launch feels way too long.

Flight of Fear makes Joker's Jynx look like road kill...

In my opinion, this is better than Volcano.
